Rubbers -Pimples

Pimple Rubbers have pimples on the outside of the
rubber, instead of the smooth surface of the inverted rubbers (which have the
pimples facing inside). These types of rubbers are generally used to control or
manipulate the spin in the game.
Short pimple rubbers (also commonly referred to as 'short pips') realise the
fastest possible ball speed close to or over the table. They are most suitable
for direct over the table hard hitting and quick speed - blocking where the
generation of spin is less important. They generate less spin, but are also less
sensitive to spin. They are popular with defensive,
or combination bat players (player with very different types of rubbers on
either side on the bat) who are capable of changing the rhythm of defense into
attack.

Long pimples rubbers, are
primarily used to
control incoming spin, making it easier to manipulate the spin by either
returning the opponent's spin, or changing it when you return the ball. These
rubbers are generally quite slow as well, allowing to change and control the
pace of the ball as well. Compared to anti-spin rubbers, long pimples are
generally take a little more adjustments to control the ball, but have more
ability to manipulate the spin which makes them more dangerous.
Medium pimple rubbers are somewhere between long and short pimples, having
more offensive potential but not quite the slow pace and spin manipulation
ability compared to long pimples.
